Robert Rozanski, rural route 1. Harristown, knows her maps. Although she cannot read, she can easily point out Australia, where she says General MacArthur went before it got "too hot" in the Philippines. She also knows just where the Philippines are located on the map and can pick out Guam, Wake, and Samoa islands without hesitating. In fact Mary Elizabeth can recognize most of the countries important in today's world of war.

It all started last December, when Pearl Harbor was attacked and her favorite cousin, Leroy Rabbitt of Harristown, was aboard a destroyer in the Pacific. Mary Elizabeth, who was only three at that time, would look at the maps and ask her mother where Leroy was, and she remembered the locations of the islands in the Pacific: Since then she has added the countries of the western hemisphere, as well as those of Asia, she hasn't Africa and Europe to her know- yet. ledge. And it isn't just the colors She likes that she remembers for she can on the maps, find the countries on non-colored parents, Mr. and strange maps, too.

Rabbitt of Mary Elizabeth can read the came from printed letters of the alphabet, When she Ray Says Truck Dispute Involves Matter of Wages Mack Ray, business agent for the Teamsters Chauffeurs union, explained last night that the dispute between himself and Roy Christy, local contractor, at the Mueller Co. war plant, was not a matter for the OPA or WPB to determine, as it involved wages and not transportation. "Mr. Christy is attempting to cloud issue, and I do not believe OPA or WPB will consider the matter," Mr. Ray said.

"If they do consider the issue, and find that the $2.55 per hour for a. truck and driver is too much, the truckers will have to park their trucks and get other work." Working Elsewhere H. Evans (Wiley) Annie Litterer. William Quinlan, Lou Russell (Cruze), Charles C. Denton, Clara A.

But busiest place in town was the photographer's studio where 26 young ladies and five young men were settling themselves in chairs and arranging themselves on the graduated platform the photographer had erected between ornate draperies. The graduating class of 1884 of Decatur high school was preparing to be photographed 80 that their picture might be hung on the high school wall along with those of the 16 classes graduating before them.

Smallest at the Top The smallest members of the class were instructed by the photographer to arrange themselves along the precarious perch afforded by a board set up at the top of the platform. So it was that little. 16-year-old Johnny Magee found himself rounded by young ladies, three rows away from the other male members of the class. If Johnny was fidgety, however, his best friend, Willie Wood, was in his heaven. Somehow he had managed to capture the chair next to pretty Clara Eyman, who wore a tightlylaced graduation dress that emphasized her tiny waist.

Clara was the best of Willie's five girls each boy in the class believed he was entitled to call five of the class' young ladies "his girls." That's Why the Fan He sat stiffly, imagining that he presented a picture such as a young man about to embark upon a career as a doctor should present. Other young men showed less composure, however. Young Arthur Flood, seated on the floor ir front of the rest of the group, reached back and took an ornate fan from Clara so that he might have something in his hands. Will Quinlan, son of W. J.

And that is the picture that high school officials found this month when they cleared out an old storeroom in the high school. The picture had no identification on it but nearly '10 persons recognized when it was published in The Herald yesterday.

One of these was Dr. Will C. Wood who was a member of the class. Last night he spoke of other members. Minnie Bachman has Mrs.

Adolph Mueller for many years and Mary English, dead now for only a few months. was one of the city's leading educators. Long Since Lost Trace Arthur Flood married Effie Haines who stood several rows behind him in the picture and they moved to Chicago. Clara Eyman married a man named Walker and moved to Seattle. Wash.

Will Quinlan died soon after he graduated. Johnny Magee, after operating a drugstore for a number of years, moved to St. went into the chemical manufac. turing business. Traces of the others have long since been lost.

Dr. Wood said yesterday that as far as he knows. only he and Mrs. Mueller from the class remain in Decatur today. Sproat Funeral Friday Funeral services for John Sproat.

Ray that trucks and tires are hard to secure these days and that the $2.55 rate is reasonable, as contractors in Champaign, Springfield and other places are paying around $2.50 for the same service. Mr. Ray denied that he had pulled his trucks off the defense plant road job. but said that Mr. Christy laid the men off because it had rained and said the roads were too muddy to work on.

Since then they have not been called back, but the truckers have been working at other defense projects, Ray said.
